Molecular dissection of the glutamine synthetase-GlnR nitrogen regulatory circuitry in Gram-positive bacteria
How bacteria sense and respond to nitrogen is a key question in microbial physiology. This work unveils the mechanism by which the central nitrogen metabolic enzyme, glutamine synthetase, directly signals nitrogen availability to the GlnR regulator.
